Dana is painted and installed!
Have any pictures of the side of the whole car after you installed the +1 springs?Took a break from the front end rebuild today to install a new set of leaf springs. Replaced the MP XHD leafs with a new set of 67 GTX spec +1" from ESPO. Replaced the rear shocks while I was at it. Car is still up on jack stands, but I can see the ride height difference supporting the rear under the axle.

Just got it back on the ground recently. New +1 leafs and 1.03 t-bars. Still tweaking the ride height and alignment and then need to drive it more to see how it feels, but pretty happy with it so far.Have any pictures of the side of the whole car after you installed the +1 springs?
I see you had been enjoying some Okanagan cherries.My car was drag raced for years... crashed and repaired numerous times, even using the wrong parts on occasion. My rad support for instance, it was for a B-Body, but not a 1st Gen Charger B-Body. Consequently, I had to drill a hole in the support the other day for a large round rubber plug that supports a leg of the 1st Gen wiring harness.

Not mine... Sorry, I inadvertently posted the wrong pic. That image was sent to me by a friend and member here who was helping me locate the exact spot to drill.... This mine...I see you had been enjoying some Okanagan cherries.
Certain disaster averted! Good thing you caught that, the thread that was coming would’ve been tragic to read!I got lucky, Saturday. Took the car in for the new tires. After they lifted it, I noticed a slight stream of something coming from the passenger side. It’s a small shop and I know them, they let me check it out. Turns out it was the steel gas line right where it clips on the frame, next to the headers. I called Hagerty, they sent a flat bed in about an hour and had it towed to the house. The driver loved the car, took about 10 pics, even the engine. He asked me if I wanted it in the garage, he put it right in its spot. The lucky parts, it didn’t start leaking until after I got there (about a mile from the house), I wasn’t driving it when it happened, the driver was great and I didn’t have to have a burned out hulk towed away. I jumped in the D150 went and picked up 4’ of new line, changed it in an hour and was up and running. That was the only bad spot, (one pin hole) the rest of the line looked good. Put a new copper oil pressure line on, it had a slight leak at the block, changed the oil and filter and it’s ready to roll. I didn’t realize the tires were 12 years old, no checks, cracks or leaks, just old.
